Joshua 1

1 Pakai lhacha Mose athiphatnin Nun chapa Mose lhacha a pang Joshua komma chun Pakaiyin thu ahin seijin,

And it cometh to pass after the death of Moses, servant of Jehovah, that Jehovah speaketh unto Joshua son of Nun, minister of Moses, saying,

2 “Kalhacha Mose athitai, hijeh chun nangma kipatnin lang hiche Jordan hi galkaijin, nangle hiche mipiho hin Keiman Israel chate kapehna gam hi jonlut tauvin.

'Moses my servant is dead, and now, rise, pass over this Jordan, thou, and all this people, unto the land which I am giving to them, to the sons of Israel.

3 Mose koma kanateppehna bang banga chu hoilai mun hijongleh nakengphang’un achotphana muntin chu nangho kapehding nahiuve.

'Every place on which the sole of your foot treadeth, to you I have given it, as I have spoken unto Moses.

4 Gamthip gam le Lebanon gamma vadunglen changgei, Eupharates vadung, Hit mite gampumpi chuleh nisa lhumna lang twikhanglen changgei nagam’u hiding ahi.

From this wilderness and Lebanon, and unto the great river, the river Phrath, all the land of the Hittites, and unto the great Sea — the going in of the sun — is your border.

5 Nahinkho lhumkeijuva namasang uva koimacha dingjoulou ding, Mose kana dinpi banga nangho jong kadinpi jingdiu, kadalhah louheldiu chuleh kanungsun louhel ding nahiuve.

'No man doth station himself before thee all days of thy life; as I have been with Moses, I am with thee, I do not fail thee, nor forsake thee;

6 Hatninlang hangin, hiche mite hi pehdinga apu apateu kanateppeh gamchu agoulo diuva nahoppeh ding ahi.

be strong and courageous, for thou — thou dost cause this people to inherit the land which I have sworn to their fathers to give to them.

7 Hatninlang hangpou pouvin, Kalhacha Mose kanapeh danthu jouse nanit jouna dingin, hichea konhin jetlang hihen veiling hijongleh kiheimang hihbeh’in, chutileh nachena channa nakhantou theiding ahi.

'Only, be strong and very courageous, to observe to do according to all the law which Moses My servant commanded thee; thou dost not turn aside from it right or left, so that thou dost act wisely in every [place] whither thou goest;

8 Hiche danthubu hi, nakamma kon mangthah louhel ding, amavang asun ajanna nageljoh ding, akijih dungjuija hi nachon jingdiu ahi. Chitilebou nakhantou ding chuleh nalolhin teiding'u ahi.

the book of this law doth not depart out of thy mouth, and thou hast meditated in it by day and by night, so that thou dost observe to do according to all that is written in it, for then thou dost cause thy way to prosper, and then thou dost act wisely.

9 Keiman thupeh kahinpeh louva nabol ham? Hatninlang hangin, kicha hihbeh’in, tijatna jong neihih in ajeh chu na Pakai na Pathennin nachena chan’uva nalhonpi jing dingu ahi,” ati.

'Have not I commanded thee? be strong and courageous; be not terrified nor affrighted, for with thee [is] Jehovah thy God in every [place] whither thou goest.'

10 Chujouchun, Josuha’in mipi lamkaiho chu thu apen hitin aseije,

And Joshua commandeth the authorities of the people, saying,

11 “Ponbuh sunga khun cheuvin lang mipiho khu anehdiu akigot toh dingun gaseipeh’un, ajeh chu nithum sunga hi Jordan luipi khu nagalkaijuva Pakai na Pathen in napeh’u gamkhu galotauvin.

'Pass over into the midst of the camp, and command the people, saying, Prepare for yourselves provision, for within three days ye are passing over this Jordan, to go in to possess the land which Jehovah your God is giving to you to possess it.'

12 Chuleh Reuben phungleh Gad phung chuleh Mannasseh phung akehkhat ho kommachun Joshua’n hitin aseije,

And to the Reubenite, and to the Gadite, and to the half of the tribe of Manasseh, hath Joshua spoken, saying,

13 Pakai lhacha Mose’n nakom uva aseichu sumil hih’un, Pakai na Pathennun nakicholdosah tauvin, chuleh hiche gamhi napeh’u ahitai.

'Remember the word which Moses, servant of Jehovah, commanded you, saying, Jehovah your God is giving rest to you, and He hath given to you this land;

14 Najiteule nachateu, chuleh naganchateu chu Mose’n napehnao hiche Jordan solam gamkaiyah hin umsah’un, ahinlah nalah’uva gal-hat hole mihangsan chengse chun galmanchah akipat uva asopihou masanga hi gal lamkaija pangdiu,

your wives, your infants, and your substance, abide in the land which Moses hath given to you beyond the Jordan, and ye — ye pass over by fifties, before your brethren, all the mighty ones of valour, and have helped them,

15 Pakaiyin nangho gam napeh banguva amaho jong alodiu gam apeh kahseuva nakithopidiu ahi. Chujouteng leh nahung kileuva Pakai lhacha Mose’n napehnao Jordan solam nagam uva nachendiu ahi.

till that Jehovah giveth rest to your brethren as to yourselves, and they have possessed, even they, the land which Jehovah your God is giving to them; then ye have turned back to the land of your possession, and have possessed it, which Moses, servant of Jehovah, hath given to you beyond the Jordan, [at] the sun-rising.'

16 Hitichun amahon Joshua chu adonbutnun, “Ipi hileh nangin neithupeh jouseu chu kaboldiu, chuleh neisol solnauva chu kache jengdiu ahi atiuve”.

And they answer Joshua, saying, 'All that thou hast commanded us we do; and unto every [place] whither thou dost send us, we go;

17 “Keihon Mose thu kanangai bang banguva chu imalam jousea nangma thujong kangai diu ahi. Pakai na Pathen chun Mose ana umpi bang bangin nangjong naumpi jinghen,” atiuve.

according to all that we hearkened unto Moses [in], so we hearken unto thee; surely Jehovah thy God is with thee as He hath been with Moses.

18 “Koi hileh nangma thupeh jouse chu nitlouva aumma, nahindouva aumpoupou leh thadoh jengding ahi. Hatninlang hangpou pouvin”.

Any man who doth provoke thy mouth, and doth not hear thy words, in all that thou dost command him, is put to death; only, be strong and courageous.'
